Take a normal swing and at her
contact point, the batter will release the ball and throw it into the net or
screen.

If their hands and arms are going
straight through their hitting zone and finishing long toward the pitcher,
the ball will go straight. If they are pulling their hands around their body,
the ball will go flying toward the left of the batter for right-handers (and
to the right for lefties). If they release too early and do not keep their
hands going straight out toward the pitcher, the ball will go in the opposite
direction.

If this is a station, you can have
one player throw five balls, then switch with their partner. You don't want
them throwing too many in a row because the young athlete will lose
concentration quickly with this drill and their form will suffer.
